Province puts Central Limburg in motion with subsidy for sports
The province is putting Limburg in motion. To this end, municipalities in Central Limburg will receive an incidental subsidy of up to €702,770. This will enable seven Central Limburg municipalities to implement the Regional Sports and Exercise Agreement for Central Limburg.
The province is giving an important boost to a region where collaboration is central to getting more residents moving. Deputy Marc van Caldenberg: “With this subsidy, we are taking a strong step towards a more vital and healthier Limburg together with the Central Limburg municipalities. By joining forces, we make a difference for young people, people with disabilities and other target groups in the region.”
Healthy sports environment
The implementation plan includes concrete actions to increase both sports participation and experience, for example by focusing on a socially safe sports climate, a healthier sports environment, making swimming pools future-proof and supporting sports clubs.
Marc van Caldenberg emphasizes the importance of collaboration: “This agreement shows how regional collaboration and shared ambitions lead to more opportunities for Limburg residents to play sports and exercise. We want everyone to be able to participate, regardless of age or background.”
Everyone in motion
The province, together with the region, is doing everything possible to put current themes such as a healthy lifestyle, social safety and inclusive sports into practice locally. “We are confident that this subsidy scheme will contribute to our goals for the coming years. Together we are building further on a Limburg in which everyone gets and stays in motion,” Van Caldenberg concludes.
